"I haven't been able to sleep much at all. The pain doctor thinks I'm starting to acclimate to the meds, so I'm stuck between not taking as many--which means I get almost no sleep; or going ahead and taking them so I can sleep, at the risk of losing their effectiveness that much quicker. It was bad enough to learn I'd never walk again," (Mary looked directly at Mike for the first time as she recited that sentence.)
